Description

Not a typical target for the Samyang but it seemed the only area of sky that had little to no cloud so I took a gamble. There's a few clearer faint galaxies showing alongside M101 & NGC 5474 which were cool to see come through.

This is 70 x 60s (70 minutes) subs @ F2 with the Samyang 135.

Captured with Voyager, stacked & calibrated in APP and processed in PixInsight.
